Is the Bible Relevant? Aron Ra vs Reformed Christian Apologist
Aron Ra is an atheist who denies the existence of Jesus as reported in the NT, as true God and true man. He insists critical biblical scholarship has established Jesus either did not exist, or if Jesus did exist, he was not the God-man of Christianity.
Some evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ outside the bible -
1) The Fatima miracle of the dancing of the sun in 13 October, 1917, where about 70,000 thousand people observed the miracle, predicted by three children. The miracle also co-incided with a vision of hell granted to the three children and the promise of heaven. From this one miracle, we know that Mary, the mother of Jesus has a power of God over nature. As the mother of Jesus exists from heaven, then Jesus as true God and true man also exists. Therefore Jesus really did exist.

2) The miraculous Tilma of Guadalupe converted millions of natives converted to the Catholic faith. The tilma has many miraculous features, including the associated apron full of roses consistent with the royal Aztec poetry about a flower kingdom. The miraculous roses are a strong indication of the woman from the other kingdom, represented by Mary, the mother of Jesus. Again, as Mary exists and has power over nature, then Jesus is true God and true man. Therefore Jesus existed.

3) Jesus has spoken to many saints throughout church history such as St Faustina, St Thomas Aquinas, and many others. The Jesus of miracles is the Jesus of the NT, as the true God/man.

Current historical critical scholarship ignores the connection between the OT and NT to the many events in church history concerning Mary and Jesus interventions to few and many, for the many. Critical scholarship of the historical Jesus which denies Jesus existed, or denies Jesus is true God and true man is false scholarship that compartmentalises the biblical text from church history.
4) The conversion of pagan Europe of the Roman Empire into the Catholic Holy Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire and Hapsburg Empires is evidence for the Divinity of the historical Jesus. For if Jesus was a fraud, the conversion of violent pagan Europe to Christendom as through the power of God, and many martyrdoms of Christian would not be properly accounted for.
5) The destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem as predicted by Jesus is a proof that Jesus was true God. For the Temple was the place God dwelt prior to Jesus. And His ascension into heaven as true God and true man is the true temple of God, replacing the Jewish temple.
6) The OT points to the NT, and the NT refers back to the OT. The Bible points to Church history and the reverse is also true. The interdependence of the two parts of the bible with church history provides strong support for the existence and divinity of Jesus. The OT predicts the Messiah who will be divine. The NT fulfills the OT promises and the church history lives out the life of the divine Messiah. Evidently Jesus existed and was true God and true man.
